Answer

16\frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Evaluate the fourth limit.

    lim⁡x→9x−3x−9\lim_{x \to 9} \frac{\sqrt{x}-3}{x-9}

    Substituting x=9x=9 directly gives 9−39−9=3−30=00\frac{\sqrt{9}-3}{9-9} = \frac{3-3}{0} = \frac{0}{0}, which is an indeterminate form.
    To resolve this, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the numerator, which is (x+3)(\sqrt{x}+3).

    lim⁡x→9x−3x−9×x+3x+3\lim_{x \to 9} \frac{\sqrt{x}-3}{x-9} \times \frac{\sqrt{x}+3}{\sqrt{x}+3} lim⁡x→9(x)2−32(x−9)(x+3)\lim_{x \to 9} \frac{(\sqrt{x})^2 - 3^2}{(x-9)(\sqrt{x}+3)} lim⁡x→9x−9(x−9)(x+3)\lim_{x \to 9} \frac{x - 9}{(x-9)(\sqrt{x}+3)}

    Since x→9x \to 9, x≠9x \neq 9, so we can cancel the common factor (x−9)(x-9):

    lim⁡x→91x+3\lim_{x \to 9} \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}+3}

    Now, substitute x=9x=9:

    19+3=13+3=16\frac{1}{\sqrt{9}+3} = \frac{1}{3+3} = \frac{1}{6}

    The value of the fourth limit is 16\boxed{\frac{1}{6}}.

  2. Evaluate the fifth limit.

    lim⁡t→0t2+9−3t2\lim_{t \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{t^2+9}-3}{t^2}

    Substituting t=0t=0 directly gives 02+9−302=9−30=3−30=00\frac{\sqrt{0^2+9}-3}{0^2} = \frac{\sqrt{9}-3}{0} = \frac{3-3}{0} = \frac{0}{0}, which is an indeterminate form.
    To resolve this, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the numerator, which is (t2+9+3)(\sqrt{t^2+9}+3).

    lim⁡t→0t2+9−3t2×t2+9+3t2+9+3\lim_{t \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{t^2+9}-3}{t^2} \times \frac{\sqrt{t^2+9}+3}{\sqrt{t^2+9}+3} lim⁡t→0(t2+9)2−32t2(t2+9+3)\lim_{t \to 0} \frac{(\sqrt{t^2+9})^2 - 3^2}{t^2(\sqrt{t^2+9}+3)} lim⁡t→0t2+9−9t2(t2+9+3)\lim_{t \to 0} \frac{t^2+9 - 9}{t^2(\sqrt{t^2+9}+3)} lim⁡t→0t2t2(t2+9+3)\lim_{t \to 0} \frac{t^2}{t^2(\sqrt{t^2+9}+3)}

    Since t→0t \to 0, t≠0t \neq 0, so we can cancel the common factor t2t^2:

    lim⁡t→01t2+9+3\lim_{t \to 0} \frac{1}{\sqrt{t^2+9}+3}

    Now, substitute t=0t=0:

    102+9+3=19+3=13+3=16\frac{1}{\sqrt{0^2+9}+3} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{9}+3} = \frac{1}{3+3} = \frac{1}{6}
